The game talks about feeding your cattle in a ranch. Everyone has a ranch and the winner is the first person to feed all his/her animals. The game is played for fun but whenever you play any board game, you still learn a form of soft skill like communication, trading and even bluffing. You also get to develop your cognitive skills.
